On July 23rd, the prestigious and world-renowned medical journal The Lancet published an editorial entitled “An Open Letter to the People of Gaza” signed by medical professionals around the globe.

Its not just Israel that gets attacked. Its any art, science, music, culture etc the left seeks to destroy for no other reason than someone involved may have a conservative thought.

Threads where the reference linking to the source is inaccessible is next to useless.
